Things you should know

An HSBC account comes with a debit card and monthly statements. Please refer to our Schedule of Services and Tariffs for a complete list of services along with any fees and charges associated with them. 

If you are a salaried customer and your salary is transferred to HSBC UAE, you will not be required to maintain a minimum balance or a relationship balance with us for any account that you open with us. If you stop transferring your salary to HSBC UAE, then a fee may be applied as per the Schedule of Services and Tariffs.

If you are a non-salary transfer customer, a lower cost option for you to consider is to have a personal banking proposition, and open a Flexi or E-saver account, as you will not be required to maintain a minimum balance in those accounts. If you choose a different proposition or open a different account type, then a fee may be applied for not maintaining a minimum balance as per the Schedule of Services and Tariffs.

We may request further information or documentation from you, in order to comply with the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA).
